Mexican Wedding Cookies are buttery shortbread cookies filled with pecans and rolled in powdered sugar. They are easy to make in one bowl and the perfect treat for the holidays. Using a stand mixer, hand mixer or a fork in a large bowl, cream together the butter (ghee OR coconut oil) with powdered sweetener until light and fluffy.
